Used to treat high cholesterol (hyperlipidaemia) and mixed dyslipidaemia; to reduce risk of heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular events in at-risk patients.
How It Works
Rosuvastatin is a statin that inhibits HMG‑CoA reductase, reducing cholesterol synthesis in the liver. It lowers LDL (bad cholesterol) and triglycerides and can modestly increase HDL (good cholesterol), helping slow atherosclerosis progression.
Directions for Use
Take by mouth as directed by the doctor, usually once daily at the same time each day. Can be taken with or without food; swallow tablet whole with water. Continue diet and exercise advice; do not stop without medical advice.
Prescription medicine. Tell your doctor if you have liver disease, kidney problems, hypothyroidism, heavy alcohol use, or history of muscle disorders. Stop and seek medical help if you develop unexplained muscle pain/weakness especially with fever or dark urine (risk of myopathy/rhabdomyolysis). Periodic lipid profile and liver function tests may be advised. Not recommended in active liver disease. Dose adjustments may be needed in renal impairment.
Drug Interactions
Cyclosporine, gemfibrozil and other fibrates, niacin, protease inhibitors (e.g., ritonavir combinations), warfarin/other anticoagulants (may change INR), ezetimibe (increases myopathy risk), antacids containing aluminium/magnesium (reduce absorption; separate dosing), colchicine (myopathy risk)
